vernalisation I read once was below a certain temperature for a certain number of days not as low as some might thinkWill it vernalise? How close to the coast are you?

Looking at next week forecast I’d leave it storms and rain!!!I've got some Skyfall to go in. Only 8 acres - advice please - would you go sooner or wait until I think it will actually have a chance of getting up and away ie late feb? Bearing in mind we're not a winter drilling county anyway
All seems a bit iffy to me.has anything growing vernalised yet?
"Many monocarpic winter annuals and biennials, including some ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana[4] and winter cereals such as wheat, must go through a prolonged period of cold before flowering occurs. "All seems a bit iffy to me.
According to Wiki, vernalization occurs when temperatures are between +5C and +10C, which we've already had plenty of.
"Typical vernalization temperatures are between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius (40 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit)."
Frankly, this is dangerous nonsense.
Time we had a bit more useful advice from the seed vendors, the breeders, and the HGCA.

I always find Lili to be a bit of a late maturer, how do think it will get on been drilled so late? Or or is it early now? I’m not sure ??Putting some Lilly in this week Or trying too... not sure if come summer I will thank or curse this weeks dry spell!! 4ac ploughed... 2 acre ploughed nice 2 more not so much

Interesting to see that Claire was (End Feb) from 2004 until 2014 when, for no apparent reason, it became (Mid Feb). only to become (End Feb) again in 2015, only to become (Mid Feb) again in 2017, after which it was delisted.
No doubt the HGCA will somewhere have published an adequate explanation for all this potential confusion - as soon as I can find it I'll post it up here without delay.
Same here, if the rain goes straight over us tonight.setting up for a big push starting Wednesday - Saturday / Sunday
weather beyond that is looking terrible so i think this is last chance for “winter” crops
I’ve no idea but it’s bagged and dressed so it will surely mature sooner if I put it in the ground now rather than wait till October Bean stubble turned over nicely. Just pulled out of a wheat stubble that from what I see in the dark isn’t going to make much of a seedbed, perhaps too eager thereI always find Lili to be a bit of a late maturer, how do think it will get on been drilled so late? Or or is it early now? I’m not sure ??
only asking because I’ve some I may drill later this week if it stays dry?
im not so sure about soil temps being up at least not here ,think all the rain has cooled it down deeper as my snowdrops arnt flowering and they usually do in jan and daff leaves are only just getting above a couple of inchesI would respectfully suggest, being a few days at least, pessimistic with those dates, as it's a pretty mild winter, and seems to be continuing that way, i get the feeling that average temps are up fair bit with regards to things like vernilisation
